Dear Richard the Flame

Hi I'm back. And I have lots more questions. And since I have lots of time I will ask them. Well here goes....

Why are you so mean to everybody?

Why did you say that you would only insult people if they asked bad questions, and yet, you insult us like crazy and we haven't sent in any bad questions? (Just annoying according to you)

Why are hamburgers called hamburgers if they don't contain any ham?

Why are eggplants called eggplants if they don't have any egg in them?

Why are pineapples called pineapples if they contain neither pine nor apples?

Why are English muffins called English muffins if they weren't invented in England?

Why are French fries called French fries if they weren't invented in France?

Why are Sweetmeats candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, meat?

Why does quicksand work slowly?

Why are boxing rings square?

Why are guinea pigs called guinea pigs if they aren't from Guinea nor are they pigs?

Why do writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?

If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth?

If the plural of goose is geese, why isn't the plural of moose meese?

Why can you make amends but you can't make just one amend?

If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables what does a humanitarian eat?

Why do people ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

Why do you drive on the parkway, and park on the driveway?

Why is a wise man and a wise guy opposite?

How many stoats does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Have you ever seen the cartoon, Top Cat?

In my question about what tree you would be, why did you say a cactus when a cactus is clearly not a tree?

Why did Lugworm betray Damug Warfang?

How many wombats will fit in a dishwasher?

If ferrets had flamethrowers would Wisconsin turn into jello on Wednesday?

My brother wrote a couple of these by the way.

Thanks Richard! (I think)
